Design Opportunities Framework

The framework was created to bring together insights from primary and secondary research in a way that would allow me to identify specific scenarios and design opportunities for further exploration.

The dials allow me to configure different combinations of contexts, activities, challenges and design approaches and use them as a basis for ideation.

Early Concepts

What if we could rescript mindless interactions with technology during our morning commute to start the day with more energizing activities?

This app detects mindless smartphone activity during daily commutes and encourages a switch to a more energizing activity to start the day with.

What if we co-created new social norms around instant messaging that respected our time and attention?

This role playing card game asks players to draw a person card each and collectively draw a situation card. They then enact their digital interactions for the given situation in character.
